So I currently have 28” Carnivores. They only have a couple hundred miles on them. I ordered the CFAB arms with the lift built into them today. I’ll be going up to a 30” Tire.
So I am looking for suggestions on what people believe are the best 30” Tire out there. I rode In My buddies bike with 30” Intimidators last year and the thing seemed unstoppable in the snow. Any other suggestions out there?

Preferably a more aggressive Tire for snow. I stay out of the mud for the most part but would like to get around in winter. When we do trail ride it’s mostly 10-30mph.
Trying to stay away from anything that would tear up clutches or bike.

I was thinking of the Intimidator, Silverback, Mega Mayhem, Or Maxi zilla( lightest I think). I’m wondering how they would compare to others? Also 10” all the way around?

I never thought of the Bighorn for snow. Are they very aggressive?
Lots of good reports of the bighorns in the snow .... how do you like the carnivores? Just courious, I saw some on a Rzr the other week and they are a good looking tire. Think that guy had 29’s

I have 30" carnivores with about 400 hundred miles on them, a lot of trails. I really like them! They have proven to be a though tire. Also really like the fact they weigh in around 32lbs.

I like my Carnivores. It seems like they won’t balance though. There’s a slight wobble. I’ve had them balanced twice and they still seem to have the same problem. A buddy who has them says the same thing and dealt with a different tire shop.

Have you considered using wheel balancing beads?

I am not suggesting that specific kit, but just a link to a kit so you can read up and research.

Don’t get wrong but balance? You balancing a Tire for a UTV? I get it if your driving the main Road frequently/all you do, maybe you do? You shouldn’t have to balance a utv tire, I never had (one time in a trail of ruts and holes she’s out of balance) Of corse your going to get a wobble, there a UTV tire. My EVO’s slightly wobble when I’m on blacktop for obvious reasons. If black top road is what you mostly drive, I’d look into getting an AT or mud terrain truck tire then balance it. Get a better result.

Do they measure true to size?

I’ve had four wheelers and SxS’s. I’m just saying I’ve never had a tires like this and it was right from the get go. I’ve never heard that any tire should wobble some.
